Somehow we ended up with two separate arrays of strings to describe the
"enum mem_type" values.
In edac_mc.c we have an exported list edac_mem_types[] that is used
by a couple of drivers in debug messaged.
In edac_mc_sysfs.c we have a private list that is used to display
values in:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/dimm*/dimm_mem_type
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/csrow*/mem_type
This list was missing a value for MEM_LRDDR3.
The string values in the two lists were different :-(
Combining the lists, I kept the values so that the sysfs output
will be unchanged as some scripts may depend on that.

EDAC workqueue destruction is really fragile. We cancel delayed work
but if it is still running and requeues itself, we still go ahead and
destroy the workqueue and the queued work explodes when workqueue core
attempts to run it.
Make the destruction more robust by switching op_state to offline so
that requeuing stops. Cancel any pending work *synchronously* too.

So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks
like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub().
The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new
arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to
define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile.
So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each
arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c
for ifdeffery. Much cleaner.
And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This
is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches
which need/have EDAC support and drivers.
This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

APEI GHES and i7core_edac/sb_edac currently can be loaded at
the same time, but those are Highlander modules:
"There can be only one".
There are two reasons for that:
1) Each driver assumes that it is the only one registering at
the EDAC core, as it is driver's responsibility to number
the memory controllers, and all of them start from 0;
2) If BIOS is handling the memory errors, the OS can't also be
doing it, as one will mangle with the other.
So, we need to add an module owner's lock at the EDAC core,
in order to avoid having two different modules handling memory
errors at the same time. The best way for doing this lock seems
to use the driver's name, as this is unique, and won't require
changes on every driver.

The driver is currently filling data in a wrong way, on drivers
for csrows-based memory controller, when the first layer is a
csrow.
This is not easily to notice, as, in general, memories are
filed in dual, interleaved, symetric mode, as very few memory
controllers support asymetric modes.
While digging into a bug for i82795_edac driver, the asymetric
mode there is now working, allowing us to fill the machine with
4x1GB ranks at channel 0, and 2x512GB at channel 1:
Channel 0 ranks:
EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A0: from page 0x00000000 to 0x0003ffff (size: 0x00040000 pages)
EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A1: from page 0x00040000 to 0x0007ffff (size: 0x00040000 pages)
EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A2: from page 0x00080000 to 0x000bffff (size: 0x00040000 pages)
EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A3: from page 0x000c0000 to 0x000fffff (size: 0x00040000 pages)
Channel 1 ranks:
EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM B0: from page 0x00100000 to 0x0011ffff (size: 0x00020000 pages)
EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM B1: from page 0x00120000 to 0x0013ffff (size: 0x00020000 pages)
Instead of properly showing the memories as such, before this patch, it
shows the memory layout as:
+-----------------------------------+
| mc0 |
| csrow0 | csrow1 | csrow2 |
----------+-----------------------------------+
channel1: | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 512 MB |
channel0: | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 512 MB |
----------+-----------------------------------+
as if both channels were symetric, grouping the DIMMs on a wrong
layout.
After this patch, the memory is correctly represented.
So, for csrows at layers[0], it shows:
+-----------------------------------------------+
| mc0 |
| csrow0 | csrow1 | csrow2 | csrow3 |
----------+-----------------------------------------------+
channel1: | 512 MB | 512 MB | 0 MB | 0 MB |
channel0: | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 1024 MB |
----------+-----------------------------------------------+
For csrows at layers[1], it shows:
+-----------------------+
| mc0 |
| channel0 | channel1 |
--------+-----------------------+
csrow3: | 1024 MB | 0 MB |
csrow2: | 1024 MB | 0 MB |
--------+-----------------------+
csrow1: | 1024 MB | 512 MB |
csrow0: | 1024 MB | 512 MB |
--------+-----------------------+
So, no matter of what comes first, the information between
channel and csrow will be properly represented.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.
Since commit 7a623c039 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().
The BUG this patch resolves for me:
